Don't hold me to exactitude, but that's how long the game took by my wobbly watch and hazy eyes.
All to end in agony.
And it was that word with which I began today's WORDLE ( and earned a "PHEW" - the last gasp before failure).
We did see it all. A brilliant ( 6 inning ) start by Cole. More exceptional defense by Verdugo, another huge HR by Giancarlo, and Soto in high gear. Rizzo making one of the best catches a first baseman can make, and providing leadership all night. And flash from Jazz.
But we also saw enough failure ( lackluster fielding by Gleybar, lack of speed in RF to reach a fly ball triple, bases left full without " the game changing" hit, and the Russian roulette of our bullpen to assure a game always on the brink.
At the last moment, our hope went dark and we were left with frustration, pain. loss and bitterness. Another big game we win if one more out can be secured. The wins we always got with Mariano.
This will happen again, tonight in Dodger Stadium.
Once more, into the breach. Fuck

We will march bravely onward, into the breach, cannon fodder, spiritual casualties, chicken soup for the soul, two donuts and a coffee, five and dime, jimmy dean, my mind is sliding off the table, like a Dali painting....
Oh, I don't think it will be anywhere near that close tonight. Rodon is pitching.
Rodon or Rodent? Only time will tell.
Boone is worse than a idiot. Google search AI tells us that that's the best word we have to describe him:
"In the past, the term "imbecile" was used to describe someone who was more intelligent than an "idiot" but less intelligent than a "moron":
"Idiot: Someone with a mental development similar to a normal child of about two years old
"Imbecile: Someone with a mental development similar to a normal child of about seven years old
"Moron: Someone with a mental age of between 7 and 10 on the Binet scale
"However, these terms are now considered offensive and are no longer used by psychologists. The terms 'severe,' 'moderate,' and 'mild' have replaced them, but the conceptual meaning remains the same."
I think Boone's idiocy is too weighty for the Binet scale.
Torree would have gone from Cole to Weaver. The Yankalytics support by AaRon The Buffon Boone, called for an early exit for the ace and putting a starter who is not a reliever and has not pitched since September 19th in a difficult situation.
